On Pain of Heart

I joined a forum site on Christian Mysticism.  On the site is a page of interesting videos.  One of the videos is with an Orthodox Priest who I think is from Indianapolis, IN (We are in Southern Indiana!).  Anyway, the interviewer mentions St. Mark the Ascetic and Pain in the Heart (something like that).  When I searched Google under On Pain of Heart, I found this site.  Today I was looking for it and found some other sites that mention it.

Anyway, why this calls to me is the idea that when following God, there is an interior suffering (suffering defined as something done to you against your will).  An example is suffering against yourself such as when your will is crossed by another.
